In the midst of Ireland's lockdown, these isolated nuns bring some much needed smiles.

A group of Redemptoristine nuns from Dublin are keeping spirits high through the Irish lockdown with dance. Called the “Jerusalema Dance Challenge,” these viral moves became popular on TikTok last February, at the start of the pandemic.

According to Classic FM, the 13 nuns who appear in the video are aged 28 to 92. The younger nuns dance about spryly, but the older sisters remain seated, keeping the rhythm with their hand clapping. The cheerful video features nuns in red and blue habits, as well as a few priests dancing around the scenic St. Alphonsus monastery.

Well - I know where that Monastery is and sadly, the original Monastery Church is no longer used as a Church

Why is it no longer used as a Church?

Sadly hasn't been for a long time - it was the Church that St Nicholas Charnetsky served the first Eastern Catholic Liturgy in and became used,more recently, [ not sure of the timing of this ] for secular purposes.

Remember I'm not a Dublin Resident though I"ve been there a few times and walked past St Alphonsus when I was going to Liturgy
